re: system 32 folder keeps popping up Monday, January 19, 2004 at 8:08 am Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by BKW (82 messages posted) System 32 folder? Sometimes when you delete a program it leaves remnants on the PC. So as it continues to try to load the app it will pop the system32 folder as certain files are now missing... A typical fix can be to check the registry settings I list here. BUT REGISTRY EDITING SHOULD BE DONE WITH EXTREME CAUTION!!! Start>Run>regedit. Explore to the key HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows|CurrentVersion\Run (You might see the RunOnce folder, etc...) Also check HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\same as the other.... Anything in these folders will load as the pc boots... BE CAREFUL what you delete thou as you can delete video card files, etc... SO if you have questions leave the key there... Also... check the StartUp folder... Start>Programs>StartUp anything in this folder will load at boot-up also...
